The idea of using parallel imaging to shorten the acquisition time by the simultaneous use of
multiple receive coils can be adapted for the parallel transmission of a spatially‐selective …

A flow‐independent method for imaging the coronary arteries within a breath‐hold on a
standard whole‐body MR imager was developed. The technique is based on interleaved …

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that respiration effects in three-dimensional (3D) coronary
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can be reduced with navigator-echo-based gating or …

The exact, hardware‐constrained design of a spiral k‐space trajectory requires the solution
of a differential equation, thereby making real‐time prescription difficult on scanners with …

Balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) imaging sequences require short repetition
times (TRs) to avoid off‐resonance artifacts. The use of slab‐selective excitations is …

Current limitations of coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) include a
suboptimal signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR), which limits spatial resolution and the ability to …

Dynamic cardiac imaging in MRI is a very challenging task. To obtain high spatial resolution,
temporal resolution, and signalto‐noise ratio (SNR), single‐shot imaging is not sufficient …

Variable density spirals have been proposed in a variety of applications, including MR
fluoroscopy, cardiac imaging, and MR spectroscopic imaging. In this work, a simple analytic …

The vast majority of parallel transmission RF pulse designs so far are based on small‐tip‐
angle (STA) approximation of the Bloch equation. These methods can design only excitation …

The imaging of dynamic processes in the body is of considerable interest in interventional
examinations as well as kinematic studies, and spiral imaging is a fast magnetic resonance …
